Five New Blade Style Putters

David Franklin, Club
Designer/Putters:
"The
OZ 2 lends itself to a true 'feel'
stroke. If you're the kind of
golfer who gets over a putt and
becomes one with the putter, this design
will give you the feedback that you're
looking for. The face is precision milled
using a process known as 'flycutting.' I
guess that term is used because material
flies everywhere when it is being done,
but the result is a perfectly flat face."
How it works: This classic blade starts with a textured,
tacky midsize grip. The traditional
"toe-hang" head promotes an open-tosquare
path while a soft (green) polymer
face insert provides smooth feel. The
lightweight insert (63 percent lighter than
aluminum) frees up mass that's moved to
the head's perimeter for added stability.
